interviewer before you meet.
It is a good idea to split your CV into four sections: personal information, qualifications, employment history and interests.
Organisations interview in many different ways both in terms of style as well as process. As an interviewee you should never assume that each interview will be structured in exactly the same way and you should always aim to improve your interview style through better preparation and understanding of the interview process. Of course, your greatest ally is the recruitment consultant you are working with who will be able to prepare you based on their knowledge of the organisation and role in question.

Think Before Hitting Send- Top 5 Resume Mistakes
The document discusses the 5 most common mistakes people make on their resumes. These include: having a resume that is too long at 7-10+ pages; using inconsistent fonts, bullet points and sizes which comes across as sloppy; including an unnecessary profile picture; having long and wordy descriptions of roles from over 10 years ago; and wasting the important first page with non-important information instead of including one's role, specialties and work history snapshots to capture the reader's attention.
The Way to a Successful Interview
The document provides guidance for job applicants on preparing for and excelling at interviews. It recommends tailoring resumes and cover letters to each job, researching the company and role thoroughly, and practicing answering common interview questions using the STAR technique. During the interview, applicants should ask thoughtful questions, focus on relevant experiences, and convey their motivations for the role in a positive light. Proper preparation, such as understanding company values and roles within the organization, can help applicants impress during the interview.
S t-a-r Technique - Nail your Next Interview!
This document provides guidance on answering behavioral and competency-based interview questions using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method. It advises giving a specific example when addressing a situation rather than general experiences. The interviewer wants to understand the task, your actions, and the outcome or result, with a focus on what you individually did. It is also beneficial to note any lessons learned that could improve future performance.
Interview Questions to Ask the Hiring Manager
This document provides guidance on questions to ask during a job interview. It advises asking questions to demonstrate interest in the role and company. Suggested questions include asking about challenges in the role, expectations for success, and how the role fits into the company structure. The document cautions against asking about pay, hours or benefits, as these questions could imply motivation by money rather than opportunity. Overall, asking thoughtful questions leaves a positive impression on the hiring manager by showing engagement and confidence.
Interview Do's & Don'ts
The document provides tips for interview do's and don'ts. It recommends being prepared for phone interviews with a copy of the job ad and resume. It also suggests preparing thoroughly for in-person interviews, asking appropriate questions, listening carefully to questions, engaging with all interviewers, practicing examples, and being honest. The document advises against inappropriate questions, lateness, inappropriate attire, jokes, and poor body language.
Interview Behaviour and Etiquette
The document provides guidance on proper interview behavior and etiquette. It recommends being flexible with interview times, researching the interview panel members in advance, casually mentioning mutual contacts only when relevant, listening carefully to questions and asking for clarification if needed, engaging with all interviewers by making eye contact, and keeping answers concise to respect the time constraints of the interview. Proper etiquette and preparation are emphasized to make a good impression.
Industry Insights with Lisa Heppel
Lisa Heppel works as an International Recruitment Specialist for Chevron. She looks for resumes that highlight key achievements and career highlights in 3 pages or less. Cover letters are also critical. The most common resume mistakes are treating it like a novel instead of highlighting key points. In interviews, candidates should practice their answers and show their authentic selves. Positive attitudes are most important for hiring. LinkedIn is useful for recruiting, so candidates should keep their profiles updated. In-demand skills in Australia include contracts advisors, planners, and cost controllers, but these roles are hardest to fill since few opportunities exist for junior or intermediate levels. Creating training programs for these roles would help address the skills shortage.
Industry Insights with David Ayre
David Ayre is the Director of the Perth office of Walker Andersen, which is part of the Andersen Partnership recruitment company. As Director, he oversees three local brands focused on accounting, insurance, and engineering. Walker Andersen opened in Perth in 2012 and currently employs 14 staff with plans to expand to 20 employees by the end of 2014. Ayre notes the most important parts of a resume are key achievements, qualifications, and detailed bullet points of responsibilities for each role. He thinks cover letters are unnecessary if the resume is well presented but can be useful for international candidates arriving in Australia. The most common resume mistakes he sees are cutting out duties to shorten the resume and duplicating career history.
Industry Insights with Andy Caruso
- Ascot Resources is an ASX-listed mining company focused on developing near-term coal production assets in Colombia, the world's 4th largest coal exporter. The Managing Director leads the management team in delivering agreed corporate and project development objectives.
- When reviewing resumes, the Managing Director looks for a 1-2 sentence career summary, a list of the most recent 3-4 roles, and 5-6 bullet points of key strengths. Resumes should be 1-2 pages and capture the reader's attention immediately. Cover letters should be one page and indicate understanding of the role.
- The most common mistakes are poor spelling, formatting, focusing too much on past experience, and less on achievements. Candidates

Preparing for your Next Interview
- 1. Preparing for Your Next Interview Charlotte Flatley- International Recruitment Specialist
- 2. Introduction Typical standard questions you may be asked in a face to face (or formal telephone) interview are… ¤ Career overview and key achievements ¤ Safety - if it is a mining/resources/oil & gas company they will always ask this. ¤ Technical questions related to the key responsibilities of the role ¤ Behavioural/soft skills questions related to the key criteria of the role ¤ Company values ¤ Role motivation and career aspirations 2
- 3. Career overview It is generally the first question asked, so it is likely that you are going to be nervous when responding. To overcome your nerves consider the below points… ¤ Go over your career in chronological order (either starting with your current or most recent position and working back or working from past to present – either way is appropriate) ¤ Focus on your relevant experience in line with the position ¤ Keep your overview to 5/10 mins - You will have many other questions to answer in order to get your experience and skills across ¤ Do not read from your resume, you should be able to highlight your experience and tell the interviewers more than what they can read on paper ¤ Describe a relevant career achievement 3
- 4. Career Overview ¤ They want to get an idea of the career journey you have been on but delve more into the roles that you feel are relevant. ¤ Explain why you think they are relevant (using words such as “transferable skills include”, “synergies with this position would be “etc.), then talk through what your responsibilities were in each particular position. ¤ If you were involved in a project do not forget to give the context such as; size, budget/scope, timescales etc. (as long as it is not confidential). ¤ The Interviewers will generally ask for a particular career highlight or key achievement, have a relevant one in mind and keep it short and specific. 4
- 5. Safety If you are applying for a role within a mining/resources or oil & gas company then you can guarantee that there will be a question based on safety. ¤ So make sure you do not show/demonstrate your indifference to it ¤ Office safety examples could relate to; ergonomics, being a fire warden, trip hazards, kitchen hazards, heavy lifting and safe work initiatives. ¤ They are assessing your attitude towards safety and that you care, they do not expect you to be a HES professional (unless you are one) but they will want to know you take it seriously. 5
- 6. Questions About Motivations ¤ This question tells the interviewers more about you, your drivers and your attitude, than any other question, so be careful how you answer it. ¤ The simple rule is, do not be negative or problem focused, instead be positive and solution focused. ¤ Why you want the job (not the company, not any job, THAT specific job) ¤ What do you think you can bring to the role and how can you add value ¤ Talk about the company and why personally you are driven to work for them (this could be because of their reputation within the market or your interests in the projects they are involved in etc.) 6
- 7. ¤ What you want to do longer term? ¤ Do you have a set career goal you are working towards? In that question they want to get a real feel of you and what drives you but also they want to hear what you think you will bring to the role. It is a two-way street, it not all about what the company can do for you but what you can do for the company, so recap how you would be of value to them. 7
